Up North Worship Retreat 2025
Up North Worship Retreat is coming up in October from the 3rd-4th! Your role on the worship team is crucial, and taking 24 hours to be poured into after you pour out your talents so often is so important. This is an amazing opportunity for you to be invested in, encouraged, and challenged.
Not only will you be poured into, but this is also a great time to get to know others on your worship team and other teams. We'll have multiple breaks, allowing you to experience all the camp has to offer, and you'll receive practical tips, tricks, and advice during our breakout sessions!
Tech teams - *THIS INCLUDES YOU!* Tech is an integral part of the worship team and we'd love for you to be there!
